"James L. Freeman" wrote in message om... Can someone offer a non-mathematical EXPLANATION (as opposed to DESCRIPTION) of why the speed of headwind and crosswind components of a wind add up to more than the speed of the wind? The same reason the opposite and adjacent sides of a right angle triangle add up to more than the hypotenuse. I guess that's mathematical, but it is an explanation... Regards Andrew
